np, I think you misunderstood something meant as lightheartedness ;)

My big issue with speed here is that it seems that every time someone 
brings up Nautilus's sluggishness they are basically told to bugger off. 
Not long ago someone made the helpful remark that speed and efficiency 
should be the number one priority and he was told what amounted to "go 
away, we know what we're doing."  (stated more politely of course)

This concerns me, and it is the main reason why I don't use Nautilus 
anymore.

Yes, very true.  Do keep in mind, however, that users are exposed to the 
latest available version.  Nautilus already has a reputation for being 
slow.  If that gets too far, then there is a big job in PR ahead ;)

np, I did too.
